c++ - Extraneous ; - love it!!

Walter
Another hearty congrats
In doing some compiler comparative work, I'm running my base COM library (44
C & 37 C++ source file; 111 header files) through a range of compilers.
DMC++ has again shone its little beacon of quality on my code.
It has been my practise for a number of years to denote empty blocks,
whether they be methods or loop contents, as the following
{}
not
{
}
nor, in the case of loops,
;
However, we're now passing into code that's been unchanged for over half a
decade - has COM been going that long? No wonder the M$ marketing team have
decided it is in our best interests to have something new to learn! - and
joy of joys, DMC++ informs me
"Warning 7: possible extraneous ';'"
since
for(end = dir; *end != xT('\0'); ++end);
should be written as is my (current) wont
for(end = dir; *end != xT('\0'); ++end)
{}
Nice one. ;)
